Eeps…

As I was putting my room together I decided to take pictures of my fiber stash since it was all around me and my camera was nearby. I’m slightly embarrassed to say that I took over 44 pictures…Each picture was something separate and all but 3 weighed at least 3-4 oz…many being 8oz… I think I need to stop buying fiber (as I place one last order for the year…I need to order a real batt from someone who makes them a lot so I can see if I’m doing it right or not.)  I guess my goal should be to use half of my stash before buying more fiber… dratz… Guess I’ll have to set a side a day of the week for spinning. XD 

So, yeah.

So I’m doing my first ever swap! Finally a chance for me to spend money on someone else and get something back that is just as cool and a complete surprise! I’m giddy, my money is screaming to be spent and I got my person to spoil. I’m way too excited about buying stuff for another person… Anyways, as I was stalking my person’s blog and ravelry pages, I realized I should probably start posting more on my blog and ravelry pages so my person isn’t totally clueless about me. I kind of anwsered the questions crappily on the survey and I like pretty much everything so all in all the poor person who has me will have a vague sense that I’m easy to please and that’s it. I’ll work on that.

Since I’ve officially moved back home, I finally decided to get my junk together… Somehow I have to combine my full room with my full apartment in a tiny space and apparently I need to do a complete sweep of things to keep and give away. (I also need to figure out how to combine my two stashes I piled up, my college stash and my home stash. Both way too big and I really should stop buying yarn but what can I say, I’m an addict who enjoys buying herself presents). Now, I’m moving my entire room around which will create a better space for all my crafts and my sewing machine. Granted what I really want to do is put pictures up online of my stash and projects for my swap person… Luckily it isn’t too hard for me to resist right now since I haven’t set up my computer which has my camera’s program to upload the pictures and I’m too lazy to put it on the laptop. I think that will be my goal for tonight.

 Till whenever

Paying it forward…

Tee hee… I’m done with school! And I get to graduate! Yay me! Anywho… I saw this at Dark Oak Woman’s blog and it looked like fun: 

“I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this Pay It Forward exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.”

Wanna play? Leave a comment with your email address and I’ll contact you for your mailing address (USA only please…I’m not good with the international shipping yet) and you will get something in the mail eventually. If you decide to play, put this on your own blog and pay it forward by sending handmade items to the first three commenters you have!

Granted, this will probably take awhile with my blog but still, the thought that counts!

One more left…

One more lovely final left and I’ll be able to post more often! Yay! Then I graduate on Friday and start studying for the exam of my life…luckily it shouldn’t be for a while so I’ll have time to study. On the knitting front I started a couple of new things… I know I shouldn’t have but it is finals which makes me start new projects. I’m working on a Quant from the knew knitty with the aspen homespun from below… I actually have a picture of it… granted, I took it on my busy/messy desk so please excuse that. I also started a flower dishcloth for no reason other than it looked cute. And I made a fugly cozy for a coffee mug or a really warm wristwarmer…it serves both functions well…It was an experiment and I decided that I didn’t really like it much so while it was a quick 15 minute project it came out a bit ugly for me to make for a quick gift.

 Anywho, here’s a picture of the Quant in progress…sorry bout the weird angle…
